When you end a sentence with a quotation that is itself a full sentence, do you use the quotation's punctuation? The containing sentence's? Both? Something else?
I think this might be best illustrated with an example. Which of the following is correct?
John asked her "Do you have the time?" She said yes.
or
John asked her "Do you have the time." She said yes.
or
John asked her "Do you have the time?." She said yes.
Related, but not a dupe: Is it ever acceptable for a period to come after a quote at the end of a sentence?
